This is a wonderful receiver. I appreciate the opportunity to see it in detail. Greatly looking forward to the demonstration with your Panzer setup. Thank you!
Excellent video which shows the quality and planning that went into each and every one of your radios.

Yes, Helge...I understand the time and effort it takes just to get a rig up and running for your video very well...I currently own and operate daily an older tube rig (Swan 700cx) and am fascinated by older equipment and appreciate the work that went into your first CQ on a particular radio. All the best and thank you again for many splendid videos. I spent all day yesterday watching many of them...I actually once owned the Radione RS-20, but never got it working. I was surprised to watch your video on the paired transmitter and receiver. Great videos...73s
Hi again, Thanks for the demo of your old WW11 receiver. It is great that you go to the effort of showing us inside with so much detail. 73's Steve ZL1FS
And, no, don´t think I heard anything better than this, not I have much WW2 stuff laying around... ;-) But these are interesting videos, since us youth often gets hopeless in the face of Riceboxes everywhere on the band. Sometimes it doesn´t seem to be worthwhile building with tubes anymore at all, but who knows one day, you´ll hear a weak, chirpy bird singing his song in very bad and slow CW, and you´ll know it´s me operating from a bicycle with a portable tube rig modeled a bit on these old things. :-) 73 de ON4CPT PS. Please keep up the videos, because now we know it´s normal a dynamotor drops in RPM under full load! And consumes and ungodly amount of current when just doing the receiving work...
Construction looks similar to the Telefunken Torn. E.b but the performance of this particular radio is far better. This is the best sounding WW2 mobile receiver I’ve ever heard, with the R1155 being a close second
The circuit construction is interesting - I've noticed that a lot of this WW2 German stuff is built using only one or two different types of tubes, which is a radical change from the approach that the allies used. That looks like everything is using the RV12P2000, which would certainly have simplified the spares situation. Those metal can Telefunken xtals in the IF are pretty neat, too.
Es un excelente receptor, la calidad de su audio es igual o superior a los equipos actuales, su dueño tiene una joya de colección, mis sinceras felicitaciones...
Very well engineered rig! I was always told that the allies and especially the US was way ahead of Germany in radio technology and the use of crystals. Apparently not correct.
The US had the advantage that they had easier access to crystals. Therefore, in Germany they had to make far more accurate mechanics to get good results. They created a radio concept that almost always worked well. They had a long education of communication experts. English radio was based on civilian components and did not have the same education of the operators

@@LA6NCA Thats normal for tube receivers. I had russsian R-311 and there was similiar 300 Hz filter. Worked similiar. But these filters have not so big attenuetion in stop band and it could be heard when you tuned to BBC on 200 Hz. Such simple circuit cannot do this.
I saw Soviet tank radio stations from the 50s. The general idea is very similar, cast aluminum housings with compartments for electronic parts. Apparently, the USSR took a lot of technology from Germany.
@@Tomek-i3g maybe. But the Radio is not only the brilliant ideas of the designer, but also the entire electronic industry of the country, hundreds of high-quality components..... For example, the characteristics of the Cologne radio receiver (1944) in the USSR could not be repeated even in the 1960s.......
@@championknife Yes, ofcourse it was very well made, ofcourse Russians copied many things from german radios after war. But they always had good designers too. For example spy radiostation Sever, it was very small set. RBM-1 is very well designed too. Another example R-250 was designed in the end of 1950s by radioamateur from Leningrad, he made very good receiver with 12-point tuned 2nd IF because he was Amateur operator, hobbist and profesionalist in one. Mechanics in this RX is briliant too.
@@Tomek-i3g The Russians made an unexpected breakthrough in an unpromising direction, invented rod radio tubes... if this had happened 10 years earlier, they would have solved all the problems during the war.
can you please show us how the main tuning and fine tuning work, I saw that when main tune the warm gear stays stationary, but when fine tuning the main tuning knob also moves, Must be some clutch mechanism. 73s from country of JY
This is way over my head, but interesting for sure. Looks like it was built very well. My father died when he was 62 in 1984 and he was a radio man in WWII and was in the pacific theatre. He did not talk about it, but had some great pictures of the A-bomb going off over Japan. That was a terrible time for a lot of people. Some good tech came out of it but that is really the only thing that can be said about it. Lets hear something about you father I'll bet he was alive then. Thanks again for your videos.
Well made but some Russian radios were better. I have RBM-1 which was WW2 radio and it is very sensitive RX. I could hear DX station on it in 3.5 MHz CW band... But no 200 Hz filter of course, it was really well made at that time.

Thanks for the nice comment.
It can take weeks of work for each radio.
I often have to restore them and then build power and make them work properly.

What an incredible radio! The tuning mechanism is an absolute work of art!
Makes me wish that I owned one...but I couldn't afford to purchase one.
Very good and compactly constructed. A whole life i was playing with valves equipment. I made 2 TX but never RX. 73 s. From 5B4ER.
Nice Helge! Please keep the videos coming!! I love the old radios and you always surprise me with something different!
Helge. The craftsmanship and compactness of the transceiver makes you realize the waste of war. Thanks for sharing!

That's a Beautiful and very well designed, piece of electro-mechanical Artwork!! Thanks, for showing us this amazing radio !!!
Did anyone notice that the German language sounded so much better than the English when received
by this German Panzer radio.
das ist normal - es ist ein deutsches radio 🥸
that is normal - it is a german radio 😎

As you said, it is very well made. Great receiver. Thank you for showing the details involved.

This is brilliant, Helge. Thank you for your videos.

Fantastic. Are those the original speakers? Did it come with headphones?
In a panzer wagon there is a lot of noise, so they used heaphones. But there were also speakers.
Did Panzers transmit on the AM broadcast band or was that just for listening with the higher frequencies used for communication?
Superb!!! To say the least!! David /ka4zuc.
NICE!!!
My Drake R-4C doesn't do much better than that with its crystal filter complement!
